Why I Love Body Stockings

As the season shifts to winter, I have started wearing body stockings a lot more. Just so we are on the same page, a body stocking looks like this:

A full-body...stocking. I initially purchased it as a sexy thing to wear, but I was surprised to find the body stocking has so much more going for it!

Firstly though, it is a sexy thing to wear. Wear it out or around the house, people will want to put their feet in your mouth. Putting on one that fits well will make you want to wear big shoes and flip your hair wantonly, or whatever else you're into.

Secondly, they can be super comfortable. I say CAN because I have bought one with poorly placed straps that cut into my shoulders, and had to alter it. That might have been specific to that make, or even that particular garment. The other ones though*, are great! They feel like second skins. Sometimes hosiery will ride, sag in the crotch, pinch in my innards, but not these guys.

Thirdly, they are warm. Unusually warm, for something that is essentially sheer. There must be some science involved, something that perhaps an astronomer could explain. It gets kinda cold here, especially with the wind and wearing a body stocking mostly negates the need for singlets or skivvies, even if you are the type of person that always feels the weather (which I totally am).

Lastly, long-sleeved body stockings are reversible. This means that the long-sleeve front-lace up one you have:

can also be the long-sleeve back lace-up one you've always wanted (the pattern may not magically change upon body stocking reversal):

So, you may have some questions. Here are a few I have heard so far:

How do I pee?

Peeing will be difficult unless you are ONLY wearing the body stocking. The solution to this is: buy a crotchless one. Practically all of them are, but it is easy to double check on the box. Another upside to the crotchless body stocking is double sexy points. You can also just pee through your stocking (not recommended).

Will it catch on my piercings?

Yes. This is another situation that requires a little planning or a change of hardware. Captive bead ring piercings won't catch like bar piercings will, also, pick the right-sized mesh for your piercing. Either diamond or fence net so your pierced part will slip through, or fishnet so that the piercing cannot slip through at all.

They seem really delicate and like they are going to rip easily.

Ok, that wasn't a question, but I will answer as though it is one. I guess they can rip as easily as any stockings would, and there are some simple things you can do to prolong the life of your body stocking:

1. Wash the stocking inside a laundry bag on a delicates cycle. Hang up to air. Never tumble dry.

2. Don't wear the jewellery that you know will catch on stockings (you know the ones).

3. Take care when drinking and wearing spiked high heels - they might catch.

That's pretty much all I can think of. The ones I have are holding up really well, and I don't have a good track record with any kind of hosiery so I think if you take a bit of care you will get a lot of wear out of them.

Happy being warm this winter, inside and out of the house!

 *I feel I should make a note that I buy the Queen-sized hosiery which is supposed to fit up to 140kgs, so perhaps that comfort comes from the extra room in the stocking.
